  A beautiful villa, top cleanliness, 5 star breakfast and amazing hospitality retreat for my family of 6!

  Such an escape away from everything! My family of 6 absolutely enjoyed this beautiful stay. Everything was spotless! From when you enter the villa, the rooms, the bathrooms, everything was clean, tidy, and 5 stars!! The breakfast was one of the best meals we’ve had served to us for a private villa stay. Local cuisines (roti canai sarang burung, kuih muih, nasi lemak was the best!) and mix with pastries, it’s a great combination of alternatives. The owner of the villa, Mr Hiew, really welcomed us and was absolutely accommodating and made us feel at home. Every room is well accommodated with TV, mini fridge and own bathroom! The area is tucked away from the main busy road and never once we felt it’s not safe. Such a beautiful villa, with amazing view snd incredible hospitality and we felt welcomed and comfortable throughout our whole stay and would definitely come again!

  Satisfied with everything although the master bedroom is not connected with the other 2 rooms (if you prefer privacy from the kids this is good!) but everything else was great.

  Een klein paradijsje op Langkawi

  Wij hebben onze rondreis afgesloten in Langkawi. Doel was relaxen in een mooie omgeving. Dat is volkomen gelukt in The Sanctuary! Wij waren met 5 personen en hadden de 3 persoonsvilla. Dat betekent dat je 1 villa hebt voor 2 personen, en een 2e villa voor 3 (of 4) personen. De villa’s zijn geschakeld, maar je kunt niet binnendoor van villa 1 naar villa 2. De villa voor 3 (4) personen heeft 2 badkamers. De villa’s en het terrein zijn een klein paradijs. Mooie tuin, heerlijk zwembad dat dieper is dan je op het eerste gezicht denkt. De villa’s zijn ruim (vooral de 2 persoonsvilla is groot!). Douche is heerlijk. Alles is superschoon en netjes. Neushoornvogels en aapjes zijn te zien in de bomen. Het is er rustig en ontspannen. Met een grab ben je in 7 minuten bij restaurants of nightmarket. Vergeet niet bij het restaurant Orkid Ria te gaan eten, echt een aanrader. Eigenaar was zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam, reageerde razendsnel op vragen en hielp bij het organiseren van een Mangrove tour. En had ik de ontbijtjes al benoemd?? Heerlijk!

  Hé-le-maal niets.

  Luxurious, tranquil retreat in Langkawi

  Beautiful, serene, stylishly decorated, and pristinely clean villas, with a tranquil setting, yet close to the bustling beach of pantai cenag. Our host was wonderfully attentive, with so many helpful tips and recommendations. We are a family of 5 with teens and we felt completely spoilt by the fantastic traditional Malay breakfasts which changed every day and the general comfort of the villas with brilliant AC that was a welcome relief after the heat of the day. The complimentary laundry facilities was also a great bonus.

  Nothing, it was all perfect thank you.

  An absolute gem – spacious, peaceful and exceptional hospitality

  We booked three rooms for our family and could not fault our stay at Sanctuary Resort Langkawi. From the moment we arrived, everything was fantastic. Our room was MASSIVE – incredibly spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean. The kids had a seperate “Villa” with connecting rooms to each other, and both of their rooms were also huge, giving everyone plenty of space and privacy. The beds were comfortable, everything was beautifully clean, and we genuinely had nothing to complain about. The swimming pool was another highlight – warm, beautifully maintained and absolutely spotless. It was a lovely place to relax and the kids thoroughly enjoyed it. But what really made our stay special was our host, Chiew. From the moment we arrived, Chiew was amazing. He was so welcoming and helpful, sharing his local knowledge about where to eat, what to see and who to arrange tours through. His recommendation for our ATV tour was excellent and made organising things so easy. And the breakfast! We enjoyed freshly cooked local Malaysian breakfasts, along with delicious bakery items, fresh fruit, yoghurt, juice and coffee. There was honestly so much food that we couldn't finish it all. Everything was fresh, generous and delicious. We had read some reviews mentioning that the resort is a little far from everything. If you were planning to walk everywhere, then yes, it probably is — but for us this was absolutely not an issue. Grab was easy to arrange, and we also had a hire car, so getting around was simple. The location is quiet, and peaceful, with a field of beautiful wild buffalo directly across the road. We would 100% stay here- this one of our favourite stays in Malaysia. Highly recommended!
